Building Trusted Standards: The Role of ISO/IEC 17024 in Supply Chain Capability Development

Trust, consistency, and recognition are essential in any capability-building system.
For SME support organisations, one of the most powerful ways to strengthen institutional credibility is through internationally recognised standards for training and certification.
ISO/IEC 17024 provides a globally recognised framework for personnel certification. When applied to supply chain capability development, it ensures that training is not only practical, but also benchmarked, consistent, and internationally credible.
hrough the Building Supply Chain Resilience Program, selected SME support organisations may be approved to deliver ISO/IEC 17024-certified training in Supply Chain Management, with support from GTPA.
This represents a significant institutional shift.
It enables organisations to:
- Certify supply chain professionals and practitioners
- Deliver recognised, standards-based training programs
- Establish consistent capability frameworks across regions
- Strengthen institutional authority in supply chain development
This is not simply a training upgrade. It is a structural enhancement of institutional credibility and market relevance.
It positions SME support organisations as recognised certifying bodies in a critical area of economic resilience.
